Back in the day there may have been a lot more fish in the sea to kill but the amount of sharks was alao greater...not sure if it would have been easier to do it back then when we had 500 in an arena or now with 200 max.

Most of the people left these days aren't good at killing, they are good at not dieing....which probably would make it harder these days unless you fly Tempests, LAs, Doras, ect ect

I think I have been killed 2000 times in one tour.  Does that count?

 :rofl. Put me in this club. I die a lot too.

If you can even get 1000 kills in a tour, this game is way too easy for you.  I would be bored out of my mind if I was good enough to do that.

2000 kills would make me vomit after every sitting. Could only imagine the poor sob that is willing to sit for the time it would take to rack up over 1000 kills.

Sounds horrible to me.
More fish in the sea back then. Just because it wouldn't be easy for you does not mean it wouldn't be easy for someone else. :)

I don't think it would hard except to have any hobby or life outside of the game. Back in the day I felt like their wasn't always a shark in the water.

This should be an achievement. 

I got close to 400 once.  Maybe a shade over.

Ooooh.  613.   500 in fighter mode.   :banana:

(One page says 624 kills with 550 in the P-51.)

That's still impressive and I am assuming that it is above the average players

With my current physical injuries, I'm afraid if I even tried to fly 1/4 of that amount that it would hospitalize me

LOL

Not easy to get over 2000 kills.  Especially these days.

Nope.  It means I have a life to do with any way I please.  That's not a problem, that's freedom.   :banana:

656, with 428 in a tiffie (tour 36) then 684 in tour 38 but there seems to be a lot of vehicle kills.

Back in the days one area would easy have 600 ppl....everyday.  Target rich environment that one could easy get 2000 kills if they are a hell of a good stick.

These days, you be lucky to reach 1000 kills with the low numbers in a arena.
